Hi, this may be a silly question but I had a colonoscopy on 4th November and have today received a letter asking me to go in for a endoscopy is there a difference?
During the colonoscopy they found inflamation but this was mild. I have finally finished my latest flare and although I know I will have another anytime, was suprised to see a hospital package with the dreaded Movi prep and a letter asking me to go in for a Endoscopy! the letter and prep are the same and it says that this is an examination of bowel using a flexible telescope is this not the same as a colonoscopy?
Since my last scope in Novemeber I have been cut out dairy, and next month have been advised to cut out Wheat and a lot of other things as I am intolerant. I do think this has helped and its great not having constant D. However I still have no diagnosis so am hoping that this may help.
Hope some of you can answer this question regaring the colonoscopy and endoscopy?
